Duplexer/Cavity Tuning
Done at the flat rate of $50, plus any shipping required, per unit. I utilize the HP 8753 series VNA.
Radio Programming and Service
The big commercial shops are rarely, if ever, willing to attempt any conversion to amateur service. This is understandable; It's not an area of the market they've chosen to serve. Even if they do offer such things, they have to charge hundreds of dollars per hour to make ends meet. After all, they have a full-size business to run.
This is where guys like me come in. I've been working in the radio field since 1983, primarily with Motorola gear. This has given me a pretty good idea of what's practical, what's not, and how much effort is involved in any given project.
See the chart below for which (conventional analog, P25 and DMR) radios I can handle. Trunked radios will be considered on a case-by-case basis, dependent on the availability of the system ID and system key file as provided by the trunked system's owner, with their full knowledge and written consent.
Due to legal and technical considerations, I
will not program any trunking radio to be a "scanner" on any system. If
you want to monitor a trunking system, there are plenty of
trunking-capable scanners on the market.

For radios I can't handle: I can suggest two possible alternatives. One is Brinkley Electronics. For more extensive coverage of GE products, and other related radio services, you can check with Radio Gurus.
PLEASE NOTE: I don't service
any sort of consumer electronic radios, such as CB or FRS equipment,
nor do I deal
with mobile phones or cordless phones. If you have equipment of this
nature that needs service, your best bet is either the manufacturer of the device or your local Yellow Pages
under
'Electronic Equipment Service and Repair.'
